The ansi_x3.4_1968 encoding is an alias for ascii, but isn't known in
Python 2.1.3. However it's required by the email tests suite, so poke
it into the encodings aliases if it's missing. The is apparently the
approved API for doing so.
Now we can remove the hexversion shortcircuits in the test suite.
